Field Play and Goalkeeper July Soccer Academy
A number of soccer players have asked if Evan would add field player
training sessions to the July soccer academy. Done! Since Evan
participates in his premier soccer club’s field player drills, in addition to
goalie sessions, he is well suited to teaching both. PLUS we are thrilled to
have Elizabeth Osborn, long time Ballston Spa recreational
socce coach, partner with Evan to lead the July soccer academy.

Evan and Elizabeth will pass on their
invaluable knowledge to other young men and
women seeking to excel in soccer. Training sessions for
field players will focus on agility, speed on the field, footwork, trapping and
striking the ball, defensive moves, kicking and distribution, communication
skills and more! Goalies will also focus on defending against penalty kicks,
breakaways, crossovers, speed in the box, punching, catching and distributing
the ball, and much more.
